Do you need to stop taking money from your folks, or is it a pride issue? That is, can they afford it or not?
Honestly, if it's not something where you need to do it to help with the family's well being, I'd strongly consider just continuing to leech off them for a while, at least the first couple years in college. Paying your way is great, but worrying less about that kind of thing is more conducive to learning.
